FOUR people have appeared in court charged with offences related to separate drugs operations in east Surrey.

Two men were arrested when a warrant was executed at an address in Whyteleafe on Saturday (September 26), while a man and woman were detained after officers from the Metropolitan Police’s SCD Task Force stopped a vehicle in the area in July.

Bao Nguyen, 51, and Tam Nguyen, 25, both of Godstone Road, Whyteleafe, appeared at Redhill Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday charged with producing controlled drugs, namely class B cannabis, following their arrests at the weekend.

The pair were remanded in custody to reappear at the same court on Friday (October 1).

Meanwhile, at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, Carlene Wilson, 26, of no fixed abode, and David Victor Emanuel, 47, of Hillbury Road, Warlingham, were accused of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, namely cocaine.

Ms Wilson was arrested when Met officers stopped a vehicle in the Whyteleafe area on the night of Friday, July 2.

Mr Emanuel was detained early the following morning.

They were both allowed conditional bail ahead of a hearing at Croydon Crown Court on January 7 next year.
